For research, right now I'm looking for better ways to visualize the results of Chain analysis on a set of sequences. (This probably doesn't actually need a cluster.) We're looking at evolutionary relationships between protein families. I just started a graduate program, so I'll have to do a range of things for classes -- which is why I have some leeway to pick up a new language and stagger through a few numerical programs now if it will help me get things done quickly later, when it matters.

It's probably worth your while to take a loop at Hadoop them. When you can fundamentally map your problem into many small problems and then reduce the results (true for most sequence alignment, etc problems), then Hadoop is very viable. Not exactly common fare these days, but getting more popular and perhaps increasingly so. Plus you don't really have to learn new languages, just a distributed computing framework.
